Anyone who claims that something has been reduced from $3,600 to $39 should be avoided. That sort of thing is aimed at gullible septics, of whom there are a great many.

I would be very cautious, I bought one of these deals from cultofmac (stacksocial) seems the same sort of thing as talkandroid. I think it was the same price, around 39 USD but it was with a company called Skyhub and had 3TB storage I believe. I recently got an email from them saying they were closing down the business as they thought the lifetime offers would tempt people onto a monthly payment plan but it didn't work out. They then mentioned that they made a deal with a new company (zoolz) so you don't have to lose your data, I don't remember it being a very special deal (probably the same as you posted here) so I just ignored it.

But I had a look at zoolz website and it looked exactly the same style as the old Skyhub website, the software looks the same too, so I'm thinking it is the same company. I didn't like the software you had to use and the storage is "cold storage" (https://aws.amazon.com/glacier/) where you have to wait 12hrs+ to be able to download anything you have stored.

I only used it for a .txt file to see how it worked, then didn't use it again. Better off paying for something more main stream really.
